The primary dwarven cosmology sees the world as two parts: rock and fire. The Mahal religion states this and some form of that belief is carried over to other minority or historical dwarf religions. The concept is that of a cubical earth—or much later possibly a curved rectangular prism (slice of mantle) or maybe a sphere—of solid rock at the center, called the Abandum 'hall of stone'. On top of it are strange green and black things that grow like mold and was originally mold when the [god of light] first spread it there as punishment to the people who had left the safety of the aban (Kh. 'rock' or 'stone'). It has only grown a little higher and a little less fit for eating. Ancient dwarves were punished by being sent there as if it were a desert island. Shadowy forms carrying swords prowl

  • The primary dwarven cosmology sees the world as two parts: rock and fire. The Mahal religion states this and some form of that belief is carried over to other minority or historical dwarf religions.

Shadowy forms carrying swords prowl this expanse and administer the [god of light]'s punishment. Under the rock is the eternal fire, thought of varyingly as a roiling flame holding up the earth, a pit of fire, an endless flow of magma, or merely a thin river of it that can never be pierced, but if it could be one would enter the dwarven paradise of resplendent halls and perfectly carved tunnels when they did. It is always inhabited by terrible and/or beautiful fire spirits.
